It's decision time. This Saturday (28), Flamengo/Marinha will go to Ênio Teixeira Stadium, in Sapucaia, with just one objective: to win and claim the third Carioca Women's Championship title. Against Duque de Caxias, at 16 pm, the Meninas da Gávea will battle to remain undefeated in the competition and to bring the title home.

With a 100% success rate in the first phase of the competition, Flamengo/Marinha took the lead in the table and secured a one-point advantage for the final triangular of the competition.

Duque de Caxias defeated América 4-2 in the first round of the final stage. Therefore, whoever wins this Saturday's match will take home the title. In the event of a draw, Flamengo needs a simple victory in its final match against América to take home its third title.

With a week off after the end of the initial phase of the Campeonato Carioca, the "Mais Querido" (Most Wanted) team continued its intense preparation and intense training at the Almirante Adalberto Nunes Physical Education Center (CEFAN). Last Saturday, the "Meninas da Gávea" hosted the Brazilian U-20 National Team for a friendly, but were defeated 2-0. 

Still in the first phase, Flamengo traveled to the Romário de Souza Faria Stadium, known as Marrentão, to face Duque in the third round. After taking a 3-3 lead, the Meninas da Gávea had to hold off their opponents' attacks, finishing the match 0-3.

 Hey, coach!

For coach Ricardo Abrantes, focus is key. "The game is very important and dangerous. Duque de Caxias has nothing to lose and will play the game of their lives. We have an obligation to win, and that adds drama to the match. However, we are focused on the fact that we have an obligation to win our third championship," Abrantes stated.
